Chapter 177: Annexation
There is nothing special about the agreed party, it is to contact the feelings between good friends, this is the rule that Sharmi exercised the privilege of a woman after returning from the last mission, and forced the rules, in her words, the relationship still needs to be maintained, some people walk and walk and disperse, and the days are less, cherish the friendship in front of you, and be able to get together for a day.
At that time, it was very heroic, but in fact, everyone knew that it was because the magma man leader at the time of the mission left too deep an impression on the newcomers, frankly speaking, a B-level secret realm can encounter such a danger, what if you really come into contact with A-level S-class in the future? Pursuing a power that ordinary humans dare not imagine, confronting heaven and earth, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, there is a possibility that he will hang up at any time, not to mention a group of small heroic souls who are still at the beginning of their cultivation. Get together a few more times while your life is still alive, so as not to leave some regrets that are difficult for everyone to make up for when someone suddenly leaves one day.
These six people basically stayed in the south and north of the world when they were on Earth, and even when they entered CHF, they only became each other's opponents, but they didn't expect that they would come together for one reason or another after coming to the Holy City, and they had seen the ruthlessness of the Holy City, and everyone cherished this hard-won friendship between each other.
There was nothing else in the Queen's Bar, there was certainly no shortage of all kinds of drinks, it was just after noon, the bar had just opened and there was no business, and there was no exploding music on the dance floor, only the bartender who was still yawning without waking up, and the sound of a few people blowing nonsense.
Wang Chong actually enjoyed this kind of atmosphere, and in the leisurely afternoon, he got together with a few friends to talk about things that had nothing to do with his cultivation, which was probably the best way he could think of to relax.
"In the end, I made the bottom of the line," Sharma held the wine glass to his waist, one foot had already stepped on the table, and his tone when he said this did not look like the bottom at all, full of confidence: "But I still caught up, as the last of the six of us to reach the middle level of the Heroic Soul, I think you should all say something, give a red envelope or something?"
"It's a must!" Napier was quite arrogant: "As the future firepower of our brigade, we must focus on training, and I suggest that each of us must give at least a thousand red envelopes!"
Sharmi kicked over, Napier's style had been touched by her, he wanted to say that one person gave a holy coin or something, and one person gave a thousand?
Everyone laughed, and next to him, Gray said, "Speaking of cultivation, I suggest that everyone should reach the peak before the saint assessment. ”
"That's Wang Chong, you, and Napier's high-level apprentices, they must all be staring at the identity of your second-class apprentices," Sharmie was not too anxious about this: "Like us, we don't have any hierarchical status, and the saint assessment is just a spectator." ”
Glay shook his head: "When I was in contact with Grand Tutor Elvis before, I heard him talk about some things about the saint assessment, this is a new assessment that the Holy City only came out this year, and the content may be a little different from the previous rumors, anyway, be prepared." What's more, the sooner you reach the peak of the Heroic Soul, the sooner you can get in touch with the true world of cultivation. Don't keep thinking about precipitation and accumulation, there is an essential difference between the Heroic Soul stage and the Soul Casting stage after all. ”
"In addition, I don't think everyone should keep urging the head of the group to start a group, making money is important for us newcomers, but it is still necessary to stop in moderation, lay a good foundation first, and it is more important to reach the peak of the heroic soul first. ”
Everyone understands the truth, but it is not as thorough as Gray, even Wang Chong only got a deep understanding from Lan Daier yesterday, let alone others. If they choose between cultivation and group missions, it is estimated that Sharma will definitely choose to run missions with a group, and even delay a certain amount of practice time for this, but that is obviously a wrong choice.
is also in the Record Martial Arts Hall, listening to the same classes, learning the same things, and contacting the same people, but Gray can experience more than Sharma and Mario, and choose a more correct direction, which is probably one of the reasons why he is frequently favored by the great mentor.
The party lasted until the evening, went to the roadside stall and made a wave of skewers, everyone was happy and dispersed, seeing that the sky was not yet dark, Wang Chong went to the lake, anyway, today is a holiday, one to see if Lao Zhang is not there, while the wine can brag with him, and the other is to see if there is any news from Gong Yi. Originally, I also made an appointment to contact Gong Yi once a week, but I forgot about it because I was busy practicing recently.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the lake, Lao Zhang didn't see it, but as soon as the signal shielding of the holy city disappeared, the news of the sky rang out.
Flipping through it, it was two messages sent by Gong Yi, the first one was many days ago, and the other was yesterday, the number of words in the message was not very much, but the words made Wang Zhong feel heavy.
"Wang Chong, we are targeted, there are several lords of Tutankhamun who want to annex our town of Kachirta, I am trying to balance, but I feel that in the end, it will be resolved by force. Muzi has disappeared for a while since the last time he went to the secret realm with you, can you contact him?We may need his help, relying only on the defense forces trained by Sister Hong and Renault and a little mercenary, it is okay to guard the business in the town in normal times, but it is difficult to compete with those lords head-on. ”
This was the first message from more than a week ago.
has experienced life and death together, Wang Chong actually knows Gong Yi quite well, even if there is a big problem in front of him, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to show an unconfident expression. As a qualified gambler, whether in front of or behind others, or even in front of themselves in the mirror, they will be absolutely calm, as if everything is under their control, and then face the results with the most confident state, even if they already know that there is only a low probability of winning.
But in Gong Yi's news, every word reveals his deep worries, and if it can make it difficult for him to do this, Wang Chong can imagine that the situation must be very bad.
In fact, this situation was conceived when the village of Kachirta was first established, and once the huge amount of money was injected into Kachirta, when the business of Sister Hong and Gong Yi played in the desert and backwardness, the rapid prosperity and subsequent attraction of wolves were all expected.
It's just that neither Gong Yi nor Wang Chong thought that such a challenge would come so quickly, and now it is only four or five months before Wang Chong leaves the desert and Kachirta Village is established, according to Gong Yi's original estimate, the timid Tutankhamun nobles should take into account the identity of the Federation on Gong Yi's side, which can at least buy Kachirta Village about a year to develop. On the other hand, it was also because of Muzi in charge at the time, and his strong personal strength made Gong Yi too optimistic to estimate Kachirta's ability in the face of challenges, how could he think that Muzi would disappear when he said that he would disappear, although he had Tianxun on him, but he was not used much all year round, except that Muzi might use it when he wanted to find someone, others who wanted to contact him estimated that they would have to wait until he was old.
Wang Chong's face had sunk slightly at this time, and then he quickly clicked on yesterday's second message.
Unlike the detailed description of the first message, this message is only nine words.
"Urgent, quick rescue!" Kachir ......"
It can be seen that this message is obviously not finished, but the urgent tone between the lines, even if it is only nine words, can already make Wang Chong feel that his eyebrows are burning.
In the distant Tutankhamun, Gong Yi mediated in many ways, walked a lot of news, and delayed for a lot of time, but in the end it still couldn't be delayed, neither Muzi nor Wang Zhong could find it, and it seemed that they needed to break through this level by themselves.
Kachiltan suddenly became noisy, and the people of the major forces were waiting for news in the surrounding oases, and no one looked like they had been affected at this time.
For Gong Yi and Sister Hong, they have not given up during this time, they are working hard to find allies, and they are not completely unwilling to help them, but either with deeper malice than Castro, or they are some small forces that fish in troubled waters and want to take the opportunity to make a profit, which is extremely unreliable.
Without fighting, there is no dignity, and without death, there is no place to stand. This is Tutankhamun's way of survival, and it is also the cornerstone of their ability to compete with the Heavenly Demon Beasts for living space in the desert.
All that's left is to wait.
With an army surrounding Cachirtán, the time for Castro's ultimatum has arrived.
Before that, the spies of the other nobles had magically disappeared like bubbles that had been punctured, but everyone knew that they were hidden in those vast sand dunes.
The hired mercenary groups openly declared their neutrality: they could deal with all dangers for their employers, but not to fight against the lords of the Empire on the land of the Empire.
Compensation, non-existent!
The empire was originally a barbarian, and frankly speaking, Gong Yi's early development was still due to the identity of the Federation, but the problem is that in the case of attack, there is no big man in the Federation to speak out.
Because ten days seems to be a chance, in fact, it is Castro's buffer, he is not an idiot, if there is no big man to speak, it means that Gong Yi and others are just speculators from the Federation, this kind of person was indeed like a fish in water in the early years, but now don't take the people of the empire for fools.
"What a high-sounding reason. Renault was so angry that the bruises on his forehead exploded, and if it weren't for the protection and effect of soul power, his brain would have been congested enough to burst open.
"This is the Empire, we used to be a little naïve. "Gong Yizhi didn't say anything, the mercenary group is just a deterrent, and they won't send them to death, especially in this case, frankly speaking, it's not bad if they don't beat a rake.
Before this, Sister Hong was already arranging the retreat of the little sisters, anyone who wanted to go could go, and they could also get a settlement fee, unexpectedly, no one wanted to go, these girls were slaves bought by Gong Yi and Sister Hong, and when they were slaves again, they didn't think they were human, but in a short period of time, they knew the dignity of being human from the saints of the Federation.
Except here, they can't get rid of their slave status anywhere, and this experience and skill will become even more miserable playthings.
Life is better than death.
They choose to live and die with the Oasis, not to underestimate the determination of women, even though they have little fighting power.
The inhabitants of Kachirtan did not leave, they had nowhere to go, dozens of men stepped forward, armed with weapons handed down from their ancestors, and joined the palace and the young people trained by Renault, this is the character of the Tutankhamun oasis, and it is an honor to fight to defend their homeland.
Young people are eager to try, and middle-aged people have already explained what happened and accepted their fate calmly.
In the evening, the wind stopped, the sun put away its scorching heat, and dusk, the most beautiful time of the day in the desert, and the most suitable time to fight, the army that surrounded Castro began their advance in the golden sunset.
Gong Yi sighed, "My fault, I thought that these people were negotiable, blind to development, but did not have the strength to protect themselves. ”
Castro gave them the option to surrender, it seems that there is a chance, but in fact, with Gong Yi's understanding, this head agreed, and the other party will slowly find a way to kill them all, Castro's greedy character is also famous in the desert.
"Lao Gong, in fact, we are all people who should have died a few times, and we have earned it by living until now. ”
"Also, I'm always thinking about winning, and there are always times in life when I can't draw good cards. ”
"Haha, fuck it, if you want to kill the three of us, they also need a good pair of teeth!" Renault is even more afraid, after experiencing the cursed land, the three of them have made great progress, a crazy master at the peak of the heroic soul, and the destructive power should not be underestimated!
Gong Yi said the situation on Tianxun, but there was no repetition, because Wang Chong couldn't help unless he found Muzi, if he couldn't help it, he would rather not come, Gong Yi was ready to deal with the aftermath, if they all died in battle, someone would give the letter to Muzi, everyone met is fate, Wang Chong has a great future, there is no need to accompany them to die.
The soul power of the three people was completely released, intimidating the desert, that was the suppression of the soul, in the void, there seemed to be three gods, exerting their divine might, the advancing lord army suddenly became a little chaotic, many people's footsteps began to tremble, and the neat team became less harmonious.
"Humph!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sand rolled wildly, the sand dunes exploded, and a tall figure walked out of the sand curtain, and the terrifying spiritual pressure rolled towards Gong Yi and the three of them like a tsunami.
